PG - 5 Weeks 2 Days

Wow! Was I tired yesterday! I worked from home as Leo went to NYC for work and Phoebe had a half day of school. I ended up taking a nap when she came home for about an hour or so. And then I still went to bed at a decent time.

I had my hair appointment today, so I'll also be thankful for no roots, LOL! The scheduler didn't explain very well, though. The pictures won't be today, but in January. He just wanted to look at my hair today and see if he can do the hairstyle he wants to do for the picture. So the pics will be on a Sunday in January and everyone's coming to the studio at his house for them. There will be me and several other models that he'll be working with that day. The pics are for some hair styling competition that he did win back in 1997 and I will get copies of the photos, so I will be posting them sometime in January. I just think this is so cool and I'm so flattered. He also said he loved my skin and bone structure. If he wasn't playing for the other team, I'd be worried, LOL! He showed me an advertisement from a magazine that was his inspiration for what he could do to my hair and it's really cool. It's from a Calvin Klein advert and the long blonde hair is smoothed back, but teased on top and rolled underneath in the back. I can't wait to see the pics when we're all done!

We're leaving for the Thanksgiving holidays tomorrow to go help start cooking and getting everything ready. The turkey gets slow roasted overnight and it ends up really juicy. Tonight we'll be making my award-winning pecan pie and Tom's cranberry relish to bring with us. We'll be working on that after we get back from our first Parent/Teacher conference with Phoebe's second grade teacher. The Girl Scouts are baby-sitting, so both of us can meet with her teacher tonight.

I've been a little bad on my diet beta test plan over the weekend, eating bread and drinking wine. I'm ready for a hard do-over and get myself ready to try my first supported fast. Over the weekend while I was doing some much needed weeding, I was listening to podcasts, especially The Chalene Show, and one in particular about working on your habits. Right now I have two habits to work on - not drinking a glass of wine in the evening after the kids go to bed and exercising daily. I'm going to use the replace tactic for the wine and swap it for herbal tea or ginger-turmeric latte. On the exercise, I need to keep to simple workouts like PiYo on Beachbody On Demand and remind myself how good I feel when I workout. Today my nutrition was as follows:

I'm about to embark on something amazing! I signed up for Chalene's Diet Beta Test yesterday. Our prep week is next week and then we officially start our new way of eating on May 1. I can't wait to learn more about it, as I've been listening to Chalene's latest podcasts about sleep and diet. They all make a lot of sense to me as I've been experimenting myself with intermittent fasting, what foods I'm eating and better sleep. Sounds like this is the perfect solution for me to use her and her experts to help increase my knowledge on how to keep time from taking its toll on me.

Things were getting really tough since September of last year and right before my birthday in March, I decided things had to change. I've been doing a lot of soul searching, experimenting with different ideas and trying to keep an open mind. I'll try to update here more often with information on what things I'm trying, recipes I'm cooking and our menu plans and ove…

I'm a working-mom in my mid-40s. I have three children: a teenage daughter in high school and twin boys in 3rd grade. I love healthy recipes, yoga, Pinterest, and gardening. I also add to our craziness by being Cub Master to our boys' Cub Scout Pack and training for a bikini competition in April 2018.
